Your information and Rossvale

How we collect, use and look after personal information sent to us through this website, and what you can ask us to do with it.

Who we are

Rossvale FC is a community football club in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, and a registered Scottish charity, number SC050687. We are the data controller for personal information collected through rossvalefc.com.

You can contact us about anything on this page at admin@rossvalefc.com.

What we collect

  • Contact form: your name, email address, phone number if you give it, and your message.
  • Report a concern form: the details you choose to give us about a concern, which may include information about a child. You can leave your own name and contact details blank.
  • Sponsorship form: your name, business name, contact details and the sponsorship you are interested in.
  • Emails you send to any club address.

Player registration, subscriptions, fixtures and results are handled by My Club Hub. The club lottery is run through ClubForce and the club shop through Brand Angels. Each of those services has its own privacy notice, which applies when you use them.

Why we use it

  • To reply to your enquiry and help you join, volunteer or sponsor. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in running the club and answering the people who contact us.
  • To deal with safeguarding concerns. Protecting children and adults at risk is a legal duty and a substantial public interest under the Data Protection Act 2018, and it is the basis we rely on for these reports.
  • To keep records the club needs as a charity and a Scottish FA member club, where the law or our governing body requires it.

We do not use your information for marketing unless you have asked us to keep in touch.

Who sees it

Only the club officials who need it to deal with your enquiry. Safeguarding reports go to our Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer.

Where we have to, we share safeguarding information with the Scottish FA, Police Scotland or social work services.

Our website is hosted in the UK by 20i, and club email runs on Google Workspace. They process information on our behalf and under contract. We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.

How long we keep it

We keep general enquiries for up to 12 months, then delete them. Sponsorship records are kept for as long as the sponsorship runs and for six years afterwards for our charity accounts. Safeguarding records are kept in line with Scottish FA guidance.
